The beauty of my body is not measured by the size of the clothes it can fit into, but by the stories that it tells. I have a belly and hips that say, "We grew a child in here," and breasts that say, "We nourished life." My hands, with bitten nails and a writer's callus, say, "We create amazing things."

I really don't think I need buns of steel. I'd be happy with buns of cinnamon. ~Ellen DeGeneres

The cultural landscape and society through the ages The trail goes from hamlet to hamlet through an impressive cultural landscape.The scenery alternates between infelds with farm buildings and small fshing communities, and outlying heathlands.At Vindenesstraumen, settlements have been found that may be more than 9,000 years old. Finds from the Neolithic Age have been made at both Ågotnes and Vindenes. The remains of house foundations in outlyingland at Angeltveit and the cairn on the summit of Spjeldsfjellet probably date from the Viking Era.
